It's true. But it's the same for women (eg. clothing size, boob size...). Some 'standards' (that are only the standards for the people who already have it good) are taken too far in comparing to others.

Random fact: In ancient Greece an uncircumcised and small penis was culturally seen as desirable in a man, whereas a bigger or circumcised penis was viewed as comical or grotesque. I personally don't understand the obsession with penis size, if a man knows what he's doing I don't care how big (or small) it is.

Ironic though, the majority of the commenters here are berating the guy for being sensitive or unable to take a joke, when just a few FMLs ago sought to console and defend a woman who was apparently sensitive about her boob size.

It's a double standard. Mocking a guy and making fun of his body issues is funny and okay. Shaming a woman or making fun of her body issues is evil and wrong. Guys have body and self esteem issues as much as women.

That's society for you

@29. It's not "fun" and "awesome" if the poor man almost cried. :(

We use inches, feet, and pints alongside centimetres, metres, and litres depending on the situation. Peoples' height and body measurements are usually taken in inches, because people are more familiar with it. Maybe it's easier for them to visualise it? idk. Milk is usually bought and measured in pints, although you can also get it in litres. Again, I guess it's to do with people and their comfort zones or something. There are probably more examples, but those are the ones I can think of. Basically we cherry pick between systems of measurement and choose whichever we find easiest, because we;re awesome like that. Also we like to confuse foreigners.

#32, you are awesome! Most Americans totally reject metric. Do you do temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius? Personally, I use Kelvin, but no one seems to be joining my movement.

That's because you will need to collect it for 72 hours and keep it refrigerated, Perdix.

Either Fahrenheit or Celsius can be used in England, but most commonly it's Celsius.

Don't know anyone that uses Fahrenheit here its always Celsius. Schools, weather, any of the sciences. All Celsius.
